No Ted King..

that's harsh......

:(

7 seconds, with a fucked shoulder and on a road bike.... the whole 25km without being able to shelter behind his team mates..... that is the true meaning of hard as nails

Certaintly

Head of the race jury said this morning Cannondale didn't try to appeal the HD decision.

not what Cannondale said - they say they were stonewalled.....

Lance's fault. They don't like yanks now.

Good point just made - if rules are rules for Ted, the autobus better be fucking nervous.

I've surpassed myself with this years fantasy team selection;

Thomas – fractured pelvis
Taaramäe – wounded and with infected bronchioles
Cavendish – recovering bronchioles
Sagan – grumpy

No Ted though.

how long in the slipstream of a car before you get some official reaction? and what is the punishment?

A few Swiss francs and none if you're French.

Depends where the commissares are too.

"Not every Englishman was quite so thrilled. "Bollocks!" tweeted Mark Cavendish after he put in several almighty pulls for his Omega Pharma-Quick Step team only for them to miss out on victory by 0.76 sec.

Did Roche grow up in France? His accent is really bizarre.

Both in France and Ireland.

Kloden on the deck. Minor. Back up, waiting for bike.

Man, radioshack's new celeste bikes just look vile

Ödem is catching up again.

Ouch ouch ouch. Nails.

Was there a crash? I missed it

I think he's referring to the point where Thomas got helped back on to his bike by the mechanic, who then gave him a big push on his broken pelvis to get him going.

Thomas reached back to slap his hand away.
